The Tinners Arms

"At Zennor one sees infinite Atlantic, all peacock-mingled colours, and the gorse is sunshine itself. Zennor is a most beautiful place: a tiny granite village nestling under high shaggy moor-hills and a big sweep of lovely sea beyond, such a lovely sea, lovelier even than the Mediterranean..... It is the best place I have been in, I think" (D.H Lawrence 1916).

The Tinners Arms is the only pub in Zennor and was built in 1271 to accommodate the masons who constructed St. Senara's Church which is famous for its mermaid.

With its open log fires, stone floors and low ceilings it has changed little over the years and now offers a traditional pub experience with real Cornish ales and carefully prepared food using the best of local ingredients. Whilst we do not aim to be a 'gastropub" we offer a varied menu that changes daily with main courses ranging from £8.50 including a selection of fresh vegetables. Every Thursday we have live music with an occasional local singer or poet.

The Tinners is a refuge from the modern pace of life where you will not find a TV, juke box or fruit machine. Your mobile phone will not receive a signal. This is a place for those wishing to relax in front of the fire with a quiet pint of real ale and some cornish cheese or a locally reared steak. In warm weather you might prefer some locally caught fish which can be enjoyed on the sunny terrace which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. A great place to watch the sun go down.

The White House
Situated next to the Tinners is the White House, a Grade II listed building, which used to be known as Bos Cres, Cornish for "house in the middle".

Built in 1838, the White House was extensively restored and modernised by the present owners in 2005 to provide two double en-suite rooms and two single rooms which share a bathroom. All guest rooms are situated on the first floor.

We have free WIFI available in all rooms.

All the luxuriously furnished bedrooms are light and airy with tea and coffee making facilities. The bathrooms are equipped with powerful showers, and a selection of soft white towels and toiletries.

Traditional English breakfast using local produce is cooked by our chef and is served in the farm house style dining room at a time to suit you from 8.00 to 9.30 a.m.

Lunch and dinner or a light snack is of course available in the Tinners every day of the year. Pack lunches are available to order. Luggage forwarding is also available by arrangement.

For a small charge we are pleased to welcome dogs in the accommodation.
